IB 30/35

You wrote a short quiz on the Great Depression at the start of class, and then we looked at the impact of the Great Depression on Latin America. You can find the PowerPoint lecture on the Great Depression in Latin America on the IB 30/35 wiki under "The Great Depression and the Americas". I will also be trying to upload a chapter on the Great Depression in Latin America next week. I strongly recommend that you look at the chapters that have been posted on the USA in the 1920s, the Wall Street Crash and the causes of the Great Depression, Herbert Hoover and the Depression, and the New Deal. As I've said many times Churchill students to pick essay questions on the Paper 3 that deal with either the Civil War and Reconstruction, the Civil Rights Movement, the Cold War in the Americas or on the Great Depression and the Americas. This is a topic that you should know extremely well for not only your IB exams, but also your Social 30-1 Diploma Exams in June. Your Social 30-1 Market and Mixed Economy Test is on Thursday, December 12th, please see the study guide below.
